How do I rip the MIDI files from Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2? by pwwnd123 at 12:44 PM EST on December 10, 2014
I don't know how to do it. What do I do to extract the MIDI files from the bms files. Is there a Windows tool for ripping the MIDI files from the bms files.

Seconding this, I want to use them on sections that have an added drum [Yoshi Sections]
This is why we really need a sticky here for popular threads like this and for yoshi drums, super mario sunshine or the midis of it cover that department http://www.hcs64.com/mboard/forum.php?showthread=37320&showpage=0 check out furrybobs generous link.

Yowza! That is freaking incredible, thank you so much!
You won't have any luck finding a soundfont for those midis. You'd need to rip the instruments yourself and manually create your own soundfont. It IS possible to rip the samples, and I have done it before, but I forget how. There's a thread somewhere here, though.
What Kurausukun said. I tried the same thing a long time ago with the samples from SMG2 http://www.hcs64.com/mboard/forum.php?showthread=35052 but it's hard and I wouldn't recommend making a soundfont, however SFZ on the other hand might fair better when the samples are looped I don't know but I think a link to the full sample set (all the ripped originally non-looped samples from that game) are there in that thread and koopatroop mentioned a different method for ripping SMG1 samples in another thread somewhere and I uploaded the SMG1 samples here anyways for reference.
Edit: Here are the SMS samples still in the drive https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8rHgE_H8aJsYTRUaTAtc3VJSlk&usp=sharing&tid=0Bz8PWXTWctXKNlpVelUySUZrNHc I believe that is all of them.
I wish it were possible to rip the samples and midis from DKJB and MKDD sigh...people just aren't interested in this stuff anymore.

I already downloaded a soundfont editor to put in the extracted samples, I'll look into learning to convert/loop the samples since I'm still really fresh with this, it's confusng right now since the soundfont program it says "Samples" "Instruments" and "Presets" I'll learn eventually, I just hope there's not much coding, Hex and .bat I can do since it's not that bad once you follow directions, still, I'm rusty as hell at it and would probably want to quit out of frustration.
I need to take my time with this, if I want it my way that is...all I pretty much want to do is make the drum sound loop for "Clock Time Attack", if I finish that and get burnt out then I'll probably take a break and continue at a later pint, If I get "good" that is [HAHAHAH! Yeah, sure], these things are intimidating for me.
They're intimidating to everyone :P if you make some progress with making a soundfont maybe you could share? That would be awesome! Looping is not that hard either, just be sure to add crossfade effects for the samples that don't loop well. I personally use TX16Wx for looping samples because I dislike viena's built in looper lol polypone is good too and you'll thank me later XD
arookas would be someone to ask, since he's been working on the Super Mario Sunshine version of it. I'm not sure if he'll be willing to release any notes on the bank format, but that's one place to start I guess.
